DALLAS — The Mavericks' 13-point lead had been sliced to one when the home crowd broke into the first "Fire Nico!" chants amid a surreal Monday night at the American Airlines Center.
The fans' calls for embattled general manager Nico Harrison's termination occurred multiple times throughout the fourth quarter, overshadowing No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg's career-high 26-point performance and the Milwaukee Bucks' 116-114 comeback win that dropped Dallas to 3-8.
The chant, which has been heard frequently at Mavs home games since the controversial Luka Doncic trade in February, first echoed throughout the arena during Dallas forward P.J. Washington's trip to the free throw line with 7:07 remaining. It was repeated during four Mavs trips to the line down the stretch, the final chant occurring after Washington missed the second of three free throw attempts with 1.2 seconds remaining and a chance to send the game into overtime.

Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison has been fired, it was announced Tuesday.
The decision was made after a Tuesday morning meeting between Harrison and team governor Patrick Dumont, sources told ESPN.
"This decision reflects our continued commitment to building a championship-caliber organization, one that delivers for our players, our partners, and most importantly, our fans," Dumont said in a statement.
Assistant general managers Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi have been promoted to lead the Mavs' basketball operations department on an interim basis.
Harrison has been under fire from Mavericks fans since he stunningly traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 2, months removed from the then-25-year-old five-time first-team All-NBA selection leading the franchise to an NBA Finals appearance.

The Dallas Mavericks could fire general manager Nico Harrison as fallout from the Luka Doncic trade reaches breaking point.
Doncic is flourishing in LA, with the MVP contender’s game-high 38 points leading the 8-3 Lakers in a 121-111 victory at Charlotte.
Meanwhile Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 30 points powered Milwaukee past Dallas 116-114, despite a career-best showing from No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg (26 points, nine rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block).
